What are the benefits of Lease Incentive Amortization for investors?

Lease incentive amortization is the accounting treatment spreading upfront lease incentives (rent abatement, tenant improvement allowances, lease bonuses) over the lease term as operating expense reductions. For investors, proper amortization provides accurate financial reporting, supports valuation credibility, and enables effective lease economics analysis.
